GENEROSITY

The “Whatever video team” ran into Jarosla, a 53-year-old homeless Czech man, while distributing clothing from the Thread Society (www.threadsociety.com) to people in need. They listened as Jaroslav explained that He came to America in hopes of finding a job, but was unsuccessful. While in a New York bus terminal, sleeping, he was robbed of his cell phone and all the money he had in the world--$1000.00. He spent the next month sleeping in shelters and on the streets.

The video team sprung into action, getting him some new clothes, a haircut, a night’s stay in a New York hotel and a one-way plane ticket to Prague, so he could get home to his family.—Jim L. Wilson
